C. Wilson (LANL) will lead this effort. Wilson is a hydrologist with extensive experience in coupling model development and application with field observations and experiments. She will work closely with R. Bolton (UAF), P. Thornton (ORNL), and S. Hubbard (LBNL) to lead model development, field observation and synthesis activities aimed at characterizing and predicting thermal-hydrologic properties and processes at NGEE field sites in the Barrow and Seward peninsulas. Hydrology geophysical measurements and analyses will be undertaken by B. Dafflon (LBNL) and H. Wainright (LBNL). Meteorological and runoff stations will be developed and maintained by R. Busey (UAF). In-situ water levels; snow depth and ablation surveys; tracer experiments; and piezometric, soil moisture, water chemistry, and core data will be developed by C. Wilson (LANL), J. Rowland (LANL), B. Newman (LANL), J. Heikoop (LANL), R. Bolton (UAF), V. Romanovsky (UAF), J. Peterson (LBNL) and A. Kholodov (UAF). Data and model synthesis activities will be undertaken by C. Wilson (LANL), P. Thornton (ORNL), D. McGuire (UAF), W. Riley (LBNL), R. Bolton (UAF), J. Kumar (ORNL) and J. Cherry (UAF). Enhanced fine- and intermediate-scale process and statistical models will be developed and applied by E. Coon (LANL), S. Karra (LANL), D. Harp (LANL), S. Painter (ORNL), J. Kumar (ORNL), W. Riley (LBNL), G. Bisht (LBNL), and R. Bolton (UAF).
